Question
A three-month-old baby cries for a while every night before falling asleep. After a hospital check-up, all indicators are normal, with no vitamin deficiencies or other issues. As parents, how should we correctly respond to each instance of baby crying?
Answer
The most common reason for a baby’s crying is hunger. This cry is short and strong, regular, with intervals for breathing, and gradually becomes more urgent. Mothers are usually very sensitive to this type of cry, especially those who breastfeed, as their breasts may be full of milk. When a baby feels hungry, it should be fed promptly to relieve his hunger and stop the crying.
